Hi Peter, This is a great proposal, thanks!. If you were worried about making the abi change have you thought about just going for an array of symbol names or hashes of symbol names where any matching symbol is considered address significant? This would sidestep the problem of keeping the symbol table indices in sync. It would be pessimistic for local symbols if the input SHT_ADDRSIG sections

Hi all, Context: ld.gold has an --icf=safe flag which is intended to apply ICF only to sections which can be safely merged according to the guarantees provided by the language. It works using a set of heuristics (symbol name matching and relocation scanning). That's not only imprecise but it only works with certain languages and is slow due to the need to demangle symbols and scan

Hello, I think that the approach of using a section to record address significance is a good one. I'm guessing it will have its own section type and format? If it does would it make sense to try and submit this to the GABI https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/generic-abi as it could be potentially useful for other linkers, for example gold? Happy to help out with reviews. Peter On 22

It seems that showing eh_frame section pieces in the map file is useful, but I wonder what would be a concrete use case of the feature. Do you mind if you ask you to describe your plan if you have a use case in mind?

Hi, We’d like to propose an extension to both the map file and the print-gc/icf-sections output. This extension would be to report the pieces of .eh_frame and SHF_MERGE sections in these files somehow. Since all (or at least the majority) of the contents of these sections in the output come from inputs, it would be beneficial in trying to associate the output contents with where they came from,

I've been working on the new LLD COFF linker for 1.5 months so far (including history of my personal repository), and I feel like I should post an update on that matter as a followup to the previous discussion thread. In short, it's doing very well. Completeness It was able to link itself from the first day when the first patch was landed. Since then, I fixed bugs and added more

I guess Eric means full program optimization/cross module optimization using MIR. This is in theory workable in full LTO style, but not in ThinLTO style which works on summary data. As we have discussed, eliminating monolithic style optimization is the key design goal. This was also briefly discussed in one of the previous replies I sent. There are other benefits of doing this in linker such
